Recently, the rhythm of the new products released by the domestic audio circle boss HIFIMAN (Hayfeiman) is really dizzying, and there are various co-brands, such as the serenade streaming media headphone amplifier and decoding all-in-one machine co-branded with Golden Audio, as well as the Svanar Jr Swan wired headphones jointly launched with the headphone family, etc.
When it comes to the Svanar Swan series, unfamiliar friends may be a little confused, because it is divided into wired version and wireless version, as well as LE version and Jr version, all of which are called swans, and the price is quite different. With so many versions, how can you tell the difference?
I'll start with what I've played, first of all, the Svanar wired headphones, with a 9.2mm topological diaphragm, a frequency response range of 5Hz-35kHz, an impedance of up to 60 ohms, and a sensitivity of only 100dB.
Then there's the wireless version
Svanar Wireless, this set is amazing, the strongest true wireless earbuds in the current 3,000 yuan range, equipped with the R2R architecture HYMALAYA (Himalaya) DCA chip and headphone amplification module that are only equipped with 10,000-yuan products, only at a price of more than 3,000 yuan, it can be similar to HIFIMAN (Hifiman) Svanar wired headphones + HIFIMAN (Hifiman) EF400 with a total price of more than 10,000 yuan. If you look at it from this point of view, you won't find it expensive.
Of course, if you really think it's expensive, then HIFIMAN has recently launched the HIFIMAN Svanar Wireless LE and HIFIMAN Svanar Wireless Jr, which can be regarded as the "youth version" of Svanar Wireless, and the appearance is very similar to HIFIMAN's Svanar Wireless, which should use the same set of molds. However, there are slight differences in terms of cavity materials and supported protocols.
To put it simply, LE does not support wireless charging, the supported Bluetooth formats are sbc and aac, the shell is changed to plastic material, and does not support LDAC protocol, while Jr cuts the R2R architecture HYMALAYA (Himalaya) DCA chip, but retains the LDAC protocol.
I seriously suspect that this knife technique was stolen from Cook, which is really hard to choose...
Of course, this problem is not a problem, because as long as you buy HIFIMAN Svanar Wireless, it can be completely solved.
Far away, back to the HIFIMAN (Hayfeiman) Svanar Wireless Jr, this should be the most beautiful of all the Swan series, from the charging compartment to the cavity, the whole body is white, and this white is not the kind of cheap plastic white, but a textured ceramic white, which will have a refractive luster under certain light conditions, which is very beautiful.
In my impression, although HIFIMAN products are not all black, white is also rare, and the white of Svanar Wireless Jr is indeed a plus, which is exquisite, and female friends should like it very much.
The shape of the charging compartment is relatively novel, and the diamond-cut design reminds me of the classic HTC Diamond mobile phone many years ago, and the surface texture material is like the high-end representative of the mobile phone circle, "plain leather", which is warm and delicate.
The overall volume is not too large, it is very temperamental after wearing, it weighs only 8 grams on one side, and the ergonomic design makes it light to wear and does not support the ear canal.
I've always thought that digital products can also be fashion accessories, such as the Apple Watch and the Honor V Purse, which are designed as fashion items entirely, and the HIFIMAN Svanar Wireless Jr clearly has this quality as well.
In addition to white, half of the cavity is a metallic silver material, and the matching of similar colors and black silicone plugs are currently considered to be the top in the HIFIMAN family.
As an active noise cancelling headphone, HIFIMAN Svanar Wireless Jr has ANC deep noise cancellation and ENC call noise cancellation, ANC active noise cancellation is through the built-in microphone to generate a reverberating signal to cancel out noise, the depth of noise reduction is -35db, that is to say, it can effectively block the surrounding ambient sound, whether it is a café, a high-speed rail station or the side of the road, will not let the ambient noise hinder you from enjoying music.
ENC deep call noise reduction technology can intelligently extract human voices, and filter out the surrounding environmental noise when you are on a call, so that the other party will feel very clear when listening to you, and you don't need to deliberately raise the volume of the conversation, just like normal chatting.
HIFIMAN Svanar Wireless Jr supports touch operation, try it, with iPhone15 Pro, click to pause/play, press and hold the right ear for three seconds to call out Siri, long press the left ear for three seconds to switch between noise cancellation/transparency/HIFI mode, in addition to double click, three clicks, etc., I won't expand them one by one, although there is no supporting App, but as long as you take a moment to memorize the operation, like running, listening to songs and changing songs while riding, Answering calls and other things can be solved without taking out the mobile phone at all, just by touch.
In terms of battery life, it is about 7 hours after turning on noise cancellation, and the charging compartment can be replenished an additional 3 times, adding up to a total of 28 hours, according to the frequency of listening to two hours a day, it is only charged once in half a month, and this kind of battery life is quite good in true wireless earbuds.
Friends who are familiar with me know that I am a loyal fruit fan, a full set of Apple devices at home, but Apple has two devices that make me very unhappy, one is the Apple Watch, the battery life of one charge a day is a little brother in front of the Android watch, and the other is AirPods headphones, the sound quality like boiled water is really worthy of being called Apple's product.
So lately I've been putting my AirPods on the shelf and taking the HIFIMAN Svanar Wireless Jr with me. It uses Bluetooth 5.2 technology, supports opening the cover and connecting in seconds, and the connection is very stable in daily use, and also supports high-definition Bluetooth protocols such as LDAC, AAC and SBC, which can completely replace AirPods as a daily listening device.
Finally, let's talk about its listening experience,This time I didn't deliberately put it on stage and player,With iPhone15 Pro and Apple Music,The sound quality is directly turned on to the maximum。
Although this time
HIFIMAN Svanar Wireless Jr does not continue to be equipped with the self-developed Himalaya R2R DAC, but the combination of an independent Class A and B balanced headphone amplification module and an audiophile-grade 9mm topological diaphragm unit is still not to be underestimated.
When I am working and studying, I prefer to listen to lyrical slow songs such as pop and vocals, while when I am exercising, I like to listen to some fast-paced folk or rock music, and when I am leisure, I like to listen to some music performances.
In terms of high-frequency performance, the SVANAR Wireless Jr has an extremely high resolution, giving people a clear and bright listening experience. In the piece "Violin Concerto in E minor", the violin's timbre is pure, and this delicate display of high frequencies allows the emotional depth of the music to be fully reflected.
In terms of mid-frequency, the classic work of the upright brother "Unchained Melody" is interpreted by SVANAR Wireless Jr, the vocal part is clear and full, suddenly flat as water, and suddenly hoarse, every word seems to be given life, I believe that those who have watched the classic film "Human Ghost Love" will be moved every time they hear this song, although the remake of "Star Wish" is also very good, but it is always not as shocking as the original.
In terms of low frequency, I chose the track "Bassment", under the interpretation of SVANAR Wireless Jr, the deep bass drum beat is clear and powerful, giving people a strong sense of rhythm, and its fullness and depth make the music more dynamic and tense, as if people are in a sea of music.
In terms of transients and resiliency, the SVANAR Wireless Jr also excels. In the track "The Rite of Spring", the change of tempo and the display of dynamics are eye-catching. In adagio music such as "Gymnopedie No.1", you can feel the breathing and emotional ups and downs of the phrases.
HIFIMAN Svanar Wireless Jr is enough to cope with most of the scenes of your daily music enjoyment, its sound performance is difficult to find opponents at the current price of more than a thousand, cut the Himalaya R2R DAC, in exchange for a significant reduction in price, both the appearance and sound performance are very good, if you feel that Svanar wired headphones are too expensive, you might as well try this cost-effective HIFIMAN(Hiraiman) Svanar Wireless Jr。
